Indeed, pity poor Satan. Even he and his vile neighbors don’t deserve Henry Kissinger, one the greatest war criminals and mass murderers of all times. Who would want — or deserve — such a neighbor: close adviser of corporate government criminals and mentor to the likes of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who carries on the ghoulish Kissinger tradition of corporate genocide, torture and mass murder of the weakest and most vulnerable.

Expect the corporate media to fall into line in the coming days to scrub off the crusty layers of caked blood and dried human viscera from his record. Any mention of the ugliness that is Kissinger will be nudged aside as political hacks and sycophants from both corporate parties sing his praise and supposed wisdom. The only wisdom Kissinger ever displayed was in engineering the finer unseen mechanisms of illegal corporate state-imposed dispossession, imprisonment, assassination, torture and death of the most vulnerable.

We are always told this is “not the time” to speak truth about the crimes of the powerful. If this nation had an ounce of courage or a scrap of morality, the opposite is true. Lessons need to be learned from the deception and deceit of our leaders.

From Nixon’s Vietnam and Cambodia to Reagan’s Central and Latin America CIA drug wars and coups to the Cheney/Bush/Obama disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and Hillary Clinton’s Libya disaster — resulting in such travesties as open air slave markets — Kissinger’s bloody paw marks can be found and continuing today in “Genocide” Joe’s crumbling Ukraine war and his star mentor Bibi’s fascist Gaza genocide — supported per Kissinger’s model by the United States.

Whenever one of our war criminals dies, the corporate media takes on hushed reverential tones and cover over the records of the dead and missing victims beneath red-white-n-blue babble. We are always cautioned this is “not the time” to speak truth about the crimes of the powerful. If this nation had an ounce of courage or a scrap of morality, the exact opposite is true. Lessons need to be learned from the deception and deceit of our criminal leaders.

So yes, pity poor Satan. His neighborhood property values have taken a huge hit with its newest resident.

May Henry broil on the flaming spit of consequence for eternity. It would be mere down payment on what is due.

Historian Greg Grandin: Glowing Obituaries For Henry Kissinger Reveal Complete “Moral Bankruptcy” Of U.S. Elites

Democracy Now! (11/30/23)

Henry Kissinger is dead at the age of 100. The former U.S. statesman served as national security adviser and secretary of state at the height of the Cold War and wielded influence over U.S. foreign policy for decades afterward. His actions led to massacres, coups and and even genocide, leaving a bloody legacy in Latin America, Southeast Asia and beyond.

Once out of office, Kissinger continued until his death to advise U.S. presidents and other top officials who celebrate him as a visionary diplomat. Yale historian Greg Grandin says those glowing obituaries only reveal “the moral bankruptcy of the political establishment” that ignores how Kissinger’s actions may have led to the deaths of at least 3 million people across the globe. Grandin is author of Kissinger’s Shadow: The Long Reach of America’s Most Controversial Statesman.

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”
